One of the oldest church of Murshidabad. Well maintained and nice ambience. But there is no proper process to visit the place. This is church is being maintained by locals and they have asked us to talk to the manager for the visit but unfortunately the manager stays far away from the church. When we have asked for his phone number, they are unable to provide the same. After a few time back and forth communication they have allowed us to visit the place but requested us to have a "quick" visit. Thanks to them, they qt least allowed us for the visit.

At present it is not open for visitors. A local family take care of it. A lucky person only can visit with their permission..
Saint Mary Church of Saidabad, (Armenian: Սուրբ Աստվածածին Եկեղեցի) is a parish of the Armenian Apostolic Church situated at Saidabad, Cossimbazar near Baharampur in Murshidabad district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The St. Mary church was built by Khoja Petros Arathoon in 1757–58 at his own expense in memory of his parents and brothers. He was at the time the head of the Armenian community in Kolkata. The cost of the building of it was two lakh and thirty six thousand rupees. An Armenian merchant and founder of the Armenian Philanthropic Academy, Manatsaken Vardon, lived at Saidabad. After his death on 13 October 1827 he was buried in this church. The church closed in 1860. In 2006, it was re-consecrated after a major renovation initiated in 2005 by the Armenian Church community of Kolkata.
